Evening Cocktail/Dinner Party at Grand Mercure Roxy Singapore Hotel

Hello Everyone,
I was really privileged and honoured to be invited by OMY.SG and Grand Mercure Roxy Singapore Hotel to an evening cocktail cum dinner party and in this blog entry, allow me to share with you the amazing experience that I have had there.

Alright, all of us were supposed to be meeting on the 4th level of the hotel at 1830 but I arrived only at 1845 due to a really bad traffic jam. Nonetheless, I noticed that the hotel had undergone major changes since the last time I've been here many years back.

The corridor of the 4th level

So when I arrived, we took a tour of their newly renovated deluxe rooms and it was quite interesting because the rooms at that level now has a backdoor access to the swimming pool and you can now see through the shower room from the bed.

The magnificent swimming pool!

Well, if you ever wonder where on earth you could have a poolside party/event, you can consider Grand Mercure Roxy Singapore because the space is huge and the ambience is excellent for hosting parties!

And after the cocktail, we were all ushered to their very own Jiawei Chinese Restaurant and I must say this, it has been perhaps one of the best dining experiences I've had so far! The service staff were extremely polite and courteous and most of them have been working there for many years already!

If you are looking for a place to have high-quality excellent tasting Chinese food at a rather classy Chinese restaurant for a group of people, this is one place you must consider. They even have a private dining area that is available for guests dining in groups.

3rd Course of the Night- Roasted Duck

4th Course of the Night- Prawns in Spiced Pumpkin Sauce

I liked how this dish was presented and served. In fact, here you can see a myriad of colours and while I initially thought that the gravy was curry, it turned out to be pumpkin sauce that interestingly has a bit of a curry taste to it.

5th Course of the Night- Steamed Toufu

This dish is also a classic favourite of mine! In fact, I really enjoyed eating the Toufu that as I'm typing this, I can still recall the soft texture of the Toufu that kinda melts into the mouth, combined with the great tasting sauce. I will definitely want to eat this again because the Toufu is very different from those I ate at other F&B outlets so far. And well, the Toufu is specially handmade by the Chef himself!

6th Course of the Night- Signature Laksa

7th Course of the Night- Signature Durian Paste and Durian Cake

This was a really sweet ending indeed and I really loved their Signature Durian Paste! I bet my mum would really love it too if she gets to taste this! The Durian Paste is something that you must try because the taste just leaves you feeling really high.

Alright, so much for the experience! Now, if you are interested to stay at Grand Mercure Roxy Singapore, they have 7 types of rooms for you to choose from. And well, for a night's stay at the Grand Mercure Roxy Singapore, it will cost you at least $330 [including taxes]

However, if you decide to book a room for the weekends, it would actually be cheaper as the hotel caters mainly for business guests during the weekdays. And yes, there's free internet WIFI connection as well. Not just that, there are free shuttle service to and fro Changi Airport from 6.30 am to 2.00 am daily and free one way shuttle service to the city going via Marina Bay, Esplanade and ION Orchard every Saturday, Sunday and Public Holiday. Seriously, what more could we ask for? The hotel really do take into consideration the needs of guests and I am surprised that they are providing such services because it does value-adds to the guest experience!
